Bio-based production of hydrocarbons using a new photoenzyme – PHOTOALKANE
The climatic consequences of using fossil reserves make it necessary to develop more environmentally-friendly biofuels. While most industrial developments have focused on the production of bioethanol or oil (converted to biodiesel), microbial production of medium-chain hydrocarbons (C7-C13) is emerg
Bio-derived nanocarbon-based functional materials for next generation electroceutical devices – BIONAFE
Bioelectronics, is an emerging technology stemming from the bioelectroactivity of living organisms, in which a real-time monitoring of the human body can be combined with the possibility to affect its functions by electrical stimulation. The devices that treat ailments with electrical impulses, know
Biobased & biodegradable marine nets: Environmental and health impacts due to leachates and micro- & nano-plastics – NET_IMPACT
Plastics are omnipresent in our daily life, our environment and food. To reduce their global impact, one potential solution would be to use biobased, biodegradable and recyclable materials. However, these new plastics are still emerging on the market, and the information about their chemical composi
Biocatalyseurs artificiels à deux composantes – BiCAB
The obtention of optically pure compounds for the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals is one of the most active fields in organic synthesis. For example, the worldwide sales of chiral drugs is estimated to reach more than 200 billion Euros by 2008. Organometallic complex
Biocatalyst immobilization in millistructured reactor – BILLIE
In the current context of technological, energy and ecological transition, there is an urgent need to develop more sustainable and cost effective synthetic processes: flow biocatalysis, combination of biocatalysis and continuous flow chemistry, has emerged as a winning combination. It allows signifi
Biocatalytic activities of functionalized surfaces controlled by mechanical stimuli – BioStretch
Living systems are complex structures sensitive to stimuli coming from their microenvironment. Recently, many studies revealed the influence of mechanical stimuli on cell response. In particular, they focused on how cells induce cascades of signalisation and chemical responses through mechanosensing
Biocides at home: emissions, potential exposure and reduction solutions – BiocidAtHome
The Biocid@Home project brings together multiple disciplines (chemistry, hydrology, modeling, economics and social sciences) to characterize and reduce the health and environmental impacts of biocides. Biocides are contaminants of emerging concern that are widely used at home. Biocidal substances ar
Biocultural Community Protocols: Justice, biodiversity and Law – BioCulturalis
In recent years, much effort has been done to document and appraise the IPLCs’ role in shaping the ecologies and resource of vast regions of the world, through the management of forests, soil fertility, grasslands, and mountains. These major changes in perspective have contributed in a decisive mann
Biocultural Heritage in Arctic Cities: Resource for Climate Adaptation – ARCA
The project explores the intricate relationship between climate change and biocultural heritage ? a holistic concept, emphasizing the entanglement of natural and cultural elements. The project aims to understand whether and how traditional ecological and Indigenous knowledge, as well as human-envir
Biodisponibilité de médicaments dans les boues biologiques : cas des anticancéreux et molécules associées – BioMedBoue
Anticancer drugs are frequently detected in aquatic environments at levels from 0.1 and 5 µg/l. These compounds are released after excretion from the patient and reached sewage systems via hospital or domestic wastewater. Most of these compounds are not completely removed during their passage throug
